For Immediate Release: Town of Valier Activities, Schedules, and Protocols to Slow the Spread of COVID 19

Beginning Monday, April 27, 2020 the Town of Valier will be taking the following steps in order to minimize the possible spread of COVID 19. We are taking these steps for the following reasons:

To protect the overall health of our community.

To protect the health of our employees, many of whom provide essential services such as law enforcement, fire protection and ambulance service, as well as clean water, sanitary sewer, garbage pickup, and street maintenance.

To help slow the spread and flatten the infection curve so our healthcare services do not become overwhelmed.

Due to Phase 1 of the reopening only one person is allowed in the office at a time per social distancing order. The Town office is open to the public, but the door is going to be locked, knock, or call to gain entry, or make an appointment. Thank you stay safe 😊

Please note that all the Towns services remain fully staffed and operational during this time. These measures are being enacted to protect the health of staff and ensure the continuity of essential services through the COVID19 pandemic.

We are asking that everyone continue to do their part: hand washing, social distancing, and covering your mouth with your elbow when you cough, and sneeze are essential to stopping or slowing the spread. At this time, it is also recommended by the CDC that we all avoid crowds or gatherings with more than 10 people. Please continue to be vigilant in your precautions and diligent in looking after those that are at higher risk. There is no need to panic or hoard supplies such as toilet paper, Kleenex, cleaning supplies, or bleach. We will get through this together with patience and compassion for everyone.

Please continue to utilize reliable sources of information such as the CDC, your state, county and local governments to stay informed of changes.
